.RBReich: Trump is dangerously unstable—and it's almost too late for an impeachment | Opinion
, Newsweek Columnist and chancellor’s professor of public policy at the University of California, BerkeleyIn retrospect, what's most disturbing about"Sharpiegate" isn't Donald Trump's clumsy effort to doctor a National Weather Service map or even his brazen move to get the same agency to lie on his behalf. It's how utterly petty his motive was.
He has repeatedly told senior officials to explore using nuclear bombs to stop hurricanes hitting the U.S. He believes video games cause mass shootings. He blames light bulbs for his orange hue. I think we have to face the truth that no one seems to want to admit. This is no longer a case of excessive narcissism or grandiosity. We're not simply dealing with an unusually large ego.
It's almost too late for an impeachment. Besides, no president has ever been sent packing. Richard Nixon resigned because he saw it coming. Trump would sooner start a civil war.Two Republicans who have announced primary challenges to Trump have suggested another possibility: the 25th Amendment. Ratified in 1967, the 25th Amendment allows the vice president to become"acting president" when"the vice president and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or such other body as Congress may by law" declare a president incapacitated.
